Next is the Rain.
I realized from the shooting that rain could be so beautiful.
Let's appreciate downpour!
We're being lucky for we could enjoy the rain as much as we can while some other countries facing draught all year long.
Here..
Showcase 's over!
Final Year Project is Over!
Recalling comments & critics that I've received so far.
Thanks for all the comments and critics.
more are welcomed here.
Critics:
>>Selection of bucket to be matched with the relevant visual.
e.g. boiling water - old kettle
>>Video content:
instead of shooting images of water ( waterfall / dripping/...etc)
it could be something as in how people use those water for.
e.g. video of woman washing clothes / dishes
>>projection:
best in top down view (which is exactly what i wanted but it couldn't be done)
>>Sound:
surround speaker could be channeled one to each speaker
overlapping sound makes it confusing
>>for now i can only remember these main ones.
>>concept:
Interesting!
Nice!
Nice idea of projecting on buckets
Cool~
>>sensors detection:
some commented that people needs to know where is the hidden sensors location and mark it down for indication.
(explains the 'X' sticker on the marked active areas around the buckets)
As mentioned, my installation is about audio and visual, therefore my main contents are sound and video footages. i used a portable surround sound recorder to record sound and a digital camera to record HD videos. In addition, I also used the piezo sound vibration sensor which I found to be really useful recording sound without noise.
For the interactivity part of my project, I used the Arduino microcontroller board and the PIR motion sensors and played with wiring. With the open-source platform of Arduino, I connect the sensors to Arduino using Arduino Programming language and communicate it with another software - MaxMSP. I control them on my laptop and the speakers for sound output. The videos of different footages are played with a projector from the top. I mapped the videos into the buckets with a very flexible projection mapping application- VideoProjectionTools (VPT).
The installation is simple. Each sensor is programmed with different sound. When motion detected it plays the sound of which the sensor is triggered. Users are encouraged to experiment with the sound.
